Maxime de la Falais

the death of Maxime was of natural causes 
at 86 it wasn't considered extreme 

her life was colorful artful in fashion and exquisite 
with really good friends and food 
she fed the Warhol brood 
in her loft apartment 
she lent 
Mapplethorpe encouragement in New York City 
she was a rare English beauty 
and silent lover 
lived her life proudly without unnecessary cover 
worked for Vogue magazine where she was often seen 
writing long lines for columns 

she moved to France to dance 
to write her memoirs in her golden hours 

when she died 
high society sighed 

in Provence, she was buried 

in rhythm and completely unhurried.
